About Broad Ripple Music Fest

The mission of the BRMF is to unite the community in which we live, work and escape to. What better way to bring everyone together than with an epic celebration?

The fifth annual BRMF will invade Indy's favorite cultural community mecca on Saturday, October 15th. The historic Broad Ripple Village will be the canvas for over 150 local, regional and national artists performing on 17 stages including historic live music staples such as the Vogue Theatre, as well as dance clubs, neighborhood watering holes and even family and children's venues.

Last year’s BRMF included 16 venues (spanning from 38th St to 71st St) and featured 125 bands. Attendance exceeded 3,300 (including a near capacity kickoff at the Vogue Theatre). We were able to raise $2000 for our non-profit partner, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and receive media coverage by WRTV, FOX 59, WTTS and cover features in both NUVO and Metromix.

This year’s festival will grow to include 17 stages and 150+ local, regional and national Indiana roots based artists spanning every genre including rock, hip hop, dance, electronic, world and even children’s music.

Proceeds from this year’s BRMF will benefit local rock n'roll educators, Girls Rock Indy. BRMF is produced by SmallBox in the Broad Ripple Village, Indianapolis.
